HPE 836739-B21 ML10 Server Drive Enablement Kit

HPE 836739-B21 ProLiant ML10 Gen9 Drive Enablement Kit

The HPE 836739-B21 Drive Enablement Kit is an internal storage expansion accessory designed specifically for the HPE ProLiant ML10 Gen9 tower server. It enables the installation of a sixth 3.5-inch large form factor (LFF) SATA hard drive, helping businesses increase local storage capacity without replacing their existing server.

The ML10 Gen9 supports up to six non-hot-plug LFF SATA drives when correctly configured. This kit is intended for the additional drive position in the server’s media bay and is particularly useful for organisations expanding file storage, local backups or other supported workloads.

HPE 836739-B21 Technical Specifications

Important: HPE 836739-B21 is a drive enablement accessory, not a hard drive or storage controller. Confirm the supplied mounting hardware and cabling before ordering.

Key Features of HPE 836739-B21

• Sixth-drive expansion: Enables installation of an additional LFF SATA drive in a supported ML10 Gen9 configuration.
• Dedicated compatibility: Listed by HPE specifically for the ProLiant ML10 Gen9 server.
• Internal installation: Uses the server’s available media-bay space for storage expansion.
• Storage flexibility: Helps increase capacity for business files, local backups and other data storage requirements.
• Existing infrastructure support: Allows businesses to extend the usefulness of an established ML10 Gen9 server.

Compatibility and Drive Expansion Requirements

HPE officially lists the 836739-B21 kit for the ProLiant ML10 Gen9. The server supports four LFF SATA drives in its standard configuration, with additional hardware required for further expansion.

The following accessories have different purposes:

• 841425-B21: ML10 Gen9 HDD Cable Screw Kit, required for installing the fifth hard drive.
• 836739-B21: ML10 Gen9 Drive Enablement Kit, required for installing the sixth hard drive.
• 836742-B21: ML10 Gen9 Slim Optical Drive Enablement Kit, used for a supported optical drive installation.

The sixth-drive position uses the media bay, so buyers should check whether that space is already occupied by an optical drive or another component.

This kit should not automatically be considered compatible with the original ML10, ML10 v2 or other ProLiant tower models.

Installation Considerations

Before installation, confirm that the server has a compatible 3.5-inch SATA drive, available data and power connections, and sufficient internal space.

The ML10 Gen9 uses non-hot-plug SATA storage, so the server should be powered down and disconnected from mains electricity before drive installation.

Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and verify that the additional drive is detected correctly after restarting the server. Back up important data before changing an existing storage configuration.

New and Refurbished HPE 836739-B21

New: New or unused stock may be suitable for businesses requiring an uncommissioned storage expansion kit. Confirm the supplied accessories and packaging before purchase.

Refurbished: A Refurbished HPE 836739-B21 may provide a cost-effective option for upgrading an existing ML10 Gen9 server. Buyers should confirm the condition of the mounting components and whether the required screws and cables are included.

Warranty coverage, stock availability and UK delivery arrangements should be confirmed with the supplier.
